    There really is no way of getting around it. Sen. Hillary Clinton may well be future presidential material. From Manhattan to Hollywood, Hillary Clinton is pocketing enormous amounts of cash for her reelection campaign. Yet, Hillary is facing what seems to be fierce opposition from within her own party, as well as from third parties here in New York. The main reason candidates have signed up to challenge Hillary is her position, er, non-position on the disgraceful "war on (…)

    “Man needs...the sense of wonder.” - George Orwell
    It was early May, 2004, and almost dusk in northern California, near its border with the state of Oregon. The Pacific Ocean was close by; I could feel its cooling breeze. I was tired from driving all day, but my wife, Ann said, “We’re getting close. Keep going.” She had the map out and was doing the navigating. I remembered thinking to myself, “I’ve heard that one before.” Then, as if on cue, we were there! There was no entry sign.

    What Would Gore Have Done? By Joe Sobran June 20, 2006 Given the Bush administration’s spectacular record of across-the-board bungling in nearly everything it does, it’s tempting to think we might have been better off if Al Gore had won the presidency in 2000. Try as I may, I can hardly imagine Gore being worse than the dubious victor, if only because he would probably have been more cautious, or at least more constrained. For one thing, President Gore would have been checked by the (…)

    The Terrorism Index By FOREIGN POLICY & The Center For American Progress July/August 2006
    Is the United States winning the war on terror? Not according to more than 100 of America’s top foreign-policy hands. They see a national security apparatus in disrepair and a government that is failing to protect the public from the next attack. Following the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, Americans understandably rallied around the flag. Having just suffered the deadliest attack ever on (…)

    Even Bush’s Crap Is Classified Top Secret Wayne Madsen Report
    July 4, 2006 — Even Bush’s crap is classified top secret. According to our Austrian sources, Austrian newspapers are currently abuzz with special security details of George W. Bush’s recent trip to Vienna. Although the heavy-handed Gestapo-like security measures meted out to Viennese home owners, business proprietors, and pedestrians by US Secret Service agents and local police before and during Bush’s visit received widespread (…)

    If you still labor under the fantasy that the New York Times, the Los Angeles Times, and the Wall Street Journal divulged "classified information" that put U.S. lives at risk or hampered our ability to track terrorist financial assets, you are willfully ignorant or have been living in a sensory isolation tank.
